Has anyone been to this hotel recently and can offer more input on it? I'm planning a January trip and found some decent rates for this hotel and am familiar with the Accor brands including Novotel having stayed at a few in recent years.

Staying right in Times Square would definately be my first choice but keeping money in my pocket definately is and overrides location to a degree. I'm not uber high maintenance, I dont think, so a (fairly) clean, comfortable hotel that's a good value is really all I need and so am considering this location.
